LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Three men are now in custody, charged in connection with several armed robberies around Louisville.
According to Louisville Metro Police (LMPD) Robbery Commander Lt. Mindy Vance, the men are responsible for robbing at least nine locations, including multiple gas stations, a Penn Station and three Family Dollar stores between late January and early February of this year.
The department dubbed them the "Double Tappers" due to their tendency to hit multiple locations in a short amount of time.
Vance said detectives with the Robbery Unit spotted the suspects casing more businesses on March 7. LMPD officers tried to conduct a traffic stop on their vehicle, but the suspects drove off. When their vehicle couldn't go any further, Vance said the suspects ran off.
Some time later, Vance said detectives found the suspects again in a different vehicle on Heather Lane. They called for officers to respond and two men were taken into custody "without incident" with the help of K9, SWAT and air units.
A third suspect was taken into custody in Shively without incident on March 9, according to LMPD spokesperson Angela Ingram.
25-year-old Anthony Miller is facing seven counts of robbery and one count each of fleeing and evading and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
Phillip Stewart, 30, and Andra Williams, 23, are charged with four counts of robbery each.
